For couples wanting to make a statement for marriage equality on their wedding day and beyond, look no further than up-and-coming jewelry company Proposition Love, whose designs feature the triangle, a prominent gay rights symbol throughout history. “The symbol has been lost over time,” says founder Sam Street “the community isn’t as active as we could or should be.” The company also has the Countdown Collection, a collection of rings designed for each state that has passed the marriage equality bill, ranging in price from $310-$900.
“[I] got married in California just five days before Proposition 8 was passed,” says Street. “It devastated us to know that other people wouldn’t be able to get married because of this measure.” Turning the heartbreaking event into a life purpose, him and his partner used their background in jewelry making to create truly unique pieces specifically for the LGBT community, donating a portion of the proceeds from each sale to organizations that support LGBT rights and marriage equality.
And we’re giving away one of their most popular styles, the Gay Pride Prop Love Ring, to one lucky reader. Featuring their signature triangle design, the handsome cobalt band is perfect for an engagement or wedding band, or an everyday pride ring.

Deadline to enter contest is 11:59 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on Sunday, August 19. Good luck!
